Birthday cards with Elle-ment Dies


I was able to whip up another batch of birthday cards for Andrew's students the other night.


This time I pulled out my new Avery Elle Fill in the Blanks Dies/stamps, designed by my friend JJ.


These dies are perfect for knocking out a bunch of cards at one time since you can use the positive/negative cuts to create different cards.  Bonus:  all cardstock came from the scrap pile.


Super easy and super fun.  I enlisted the help of my Xyron for adhering the die cuts.  And in case you're wondering, I have both sets of fill in the blanks, so the T's came from the THANKS die in the Holiday set.

Short and sweet today.  Hope that you are having a great week! 

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  Crafter's Companion - White Cardstock; Colored cardstock scraps, various manufacturers
Stamps:  Avery Elle - Fill in the Blank
Ink:  Memento - Tuxedo Black; CTMH - Pacifica
Other:  Avery Elle - Fill in the Blank and Holiday Fill in the Blank Dies; Xyron - 1 1/2" Sticker Maker; Kuretake Glue Pen; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
